Contrast Between Social Model and Medical Model. In my research I have come across many contrasts between the Social and Medical Models and here is just some of what I have found out.

Before viewing the videos, I thought of how Whole Foods Market (WFM) is a model company for corporate social responsibility. I am therefore not surprised that the company was the first to endorse Honest Tea. Seth Goldman, CEO of Honest Tea, echoes some of the very same sentiments that John Mackey, founder of WFM does with regards to the purpose and mission of his company.

This essay will focus on the biomedical and social model of health. It will be critically discussing both models using supporting theories and highlighting the limitations of each.

Shakespeare,T.,Watson,N.(2002). The social model of disability: an outdated ideology? Research in Social Science and Disability (2), 9-28.

What do you understand by the medical and social models of disability? Illustrate your answer with examples from your media portfolio. The social and medical model are separate elements which have a big impact on people’s life.
